Description Call to Reverend John McKinlay 1824

We the subscribers, composing the Presbyterian congregation, commonly known by the name of the congregation of Pictou Harbour, taking unto consideration our destitute situation in consequence of the Reverend Thomas McCulloch D.D. our former pastor's demission of his charge, and especially that we are deprived of the public ordinances of the gospel whereby sinners are gathered unto Christ and built up in him, and in this respect are as sheep withou a sheppherd:  and being well apprized of the piety, [prudence], literature, and other ininsterial qualifications of you the Rev. John McKinlay and the suitableness of the gifts bestowed on you by the blessed head of the church for our edification, we call and invite you to become our pastor, to take the charge of our souls, and the dispense to us the ordinances of grace; and we promise you all due subsistence, encouragement, and subjection in the Lord. 

And we pray the Reverend teh Presbytery of Pictou, under whose inspection we are, to take the necessary steps to have you placed over us as soon as circumstances will permit.

In witness whereof, we have hereunto subjected our hands this third day of August in the year of our Lord One Thousand Eight Hundred and Twenty four
